Class Lessons…..
 DRA assessments are complete. We have started a
series of lessons associated with the “Minecraft
Mania” story in our Storyworks magazine. Ask your
child about some of the other stories in this
wonderful magazine. We have a debate coming up
on the need for cursive writing. I’m anxious to see
what the students’ opinions will be.
 Designing a paragraph using the 4-Square model
has been our focus in language arts. We will move
from developing a paragraph to creating a full 4square for an entire essay. Ask your child about
what we have been doing with the “colors” in class.
 Spelling units and reading logs will resume the
week of October 20th. The student’s placement in
spelling groups sometimes changes according to
performance and need.
